Ajoite and Brucite Chemical Formula
While comparing Ajoite and Brucite physical properties, the important data you should know is its chemical composition. Since chemical formula defines the molecular structure of the crystal, most of the physical properties like color, tenacity, solubility are governed by Ajoite and Brucite chemical formula.

Ajoite and Brucite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Ajoite and Brucite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Ajoite and Brucite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Ajoite is 2.39 whereas that of Brucite is 2.39.
